GUID Partition Table

GUID Partition Table (GPT) is a modern way of organizing a computer's hard drive into sections called partitions, which are used to store data. Unlike older methods, GPT supports larger drives and more partitions, making it more flexible and reliable. Each partition is identified with a unique global identifier (GUID), ensuring precise management. GPT also includes built-in safeguards to protect data integrity, reducing the risk of corruption. Overall, GPT improves compatibility, scalability, and robustness for managing storage devices in contemporary computers.
